\PIL-kroh\,noun:
a paragraph mark.
Take the trouble to look it up and in most cases the humble pilcrow warrants only a few lines, dismissed briskly as a "paragraph mark" that is "only important when brevity is important."
-- Keith Houston, "Shady Characters: The Secret Life of Punctuation, Symbols, and Other Typographical Marks," 2013
I'm more like a specialized piece of punctuation, a cedilla, umlaut or pilcrow, hard to track down on the keyboard of a computer or typewriter.
-- Adam Mars-Jones, "Pilcrow," 2008
Pilcrow arose in the 1400s, possibly from the Old French paragrafe meaning "paragraph."
